COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Timed-entry permits and shuttle tickets for Pikes Peak go on sale Wednesday for the 2026 season. Timed-entry permits are required for vehicles traveling past mile seven on the Pikes Peak Highway.

They are available between May 22 and September 30 and cost $2. This is in addition to general admission, which is $18 for adults and $8 for children.

Shuttle service also begins May 22 and runs daily through August 9. This allows you and your family to get a ride up to the summit, with stops to Glen Cove and Devil's Playground before reaching the summit.

Shuttles are at mile marker seven every 30 minutes. Those cost $40 for adults and $12 for children ages six to 15. Tickets are free for children 5 years old and under.
